I am planning to buy A7 2017 Soon and have question regarding its Always-On display.
Does AOD, only supports notifications from Samsung Apps only ??
Apart from that,
Does it have option to change clock face to any colour ?
How many clock faces is provided (I believe its only 2) ?
Also, any way to have variety of clock faces just like in S7 ? - Can it be ported ?

I been to Samsung stores here and few of the staff says - Samsung have updated their AOD and can now display third-party apps, but they cant say for sure.
Any actual user can confirm please.

Coming from a Droid Turbo, Moto's AOD was awesome. Always showed me the time and icons for any notifications - if I wanted more info, I tapthe notification and get a peek (still on AOD) at the info, then could open my phone directly to that app by dragging up.
In contrast, I find Samsung's AOD fairly useless - even the time is often NOT on or bright enough when I really need it. And if you choose the AOD with notifications, they only work for a couple of stock Samsung apps if you happen to use those apps.
Has Samsung opened up the AOD API to third parties to create their own AOD apps? If so, anybody know of any good ones? Or perhaps turn Samsung AOD off and a third party Android app can emulate it? Right now, as is, the Samsung one seems pretty useless to me. And the 3rd party themes they offer for AOD don't change or add to the functionality - just allow optional looks of the same basic function.
Check out these:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anandbibek.notifyfree&hl=en
The last one seems to me to be the most effective.
Edit: You'll want to turn AOD off to use these.
The stock Samsung AOD enables some more optimizations for the display controller, including reducing the number of colours and the refresh rate.
How do I know whether those apps do the same? Is it known how to access the display controller this way, is there an API for that? How could I write an app that uses this?

My previous device was a Moto X and like you I miss some Moto AOD features too.
Anyway, there are ways to tweak a bit Samsung AOD , check this thread: Mod for Always ON Display to Double tap to Unlock possible?? (Nougat)
Is it possible in any way to enable the System UI Tuner in Nougat build, or has Samsung removed this feature? I'm particularly looking for notification power controls as there seems to be no way to disable heads up without also making them silent.
Waiting to know the solution as well
Im annoyed by the WhatsApp heads up notification
Super annoying for sure! Hating 7.0 on AT&T because of this. Still no fix!
There's a new official API in Nougat for this
Check this https://www.xda-developers.com/get-custom-quick-settings-tiles/
Called? I don't see anything that disables peek and doesn't require root.

Sorry, don't understand what you mean by "called"

The "Nougat way" of editing quick settings buttons (actually replacing system UI tuner, which has been phased out) tiles doesn't' require root at all.
To use it under S7 nougat, fully expand quick settings area then, open the three dot menu and press "edit".
There are some 3rd party apps which allows to add custom tiles ("Custom Quick Settings" being one of them), some others apps already support this feature for their own usage.
I confess I don't know what "notification power control" is: I was only replying to the thread subject ("System UI Tuner in Nougat").
But maybe if you give a more detailed explanation of what you're trying to to ("disable peek"), I could help on it too.
"Called" means what is this app called that enables Ui Timer settings, therefore the ability to disable message peek.
Message peak is when you are trying to do something on your phone, but you cannot see your screen because every message that arrives is instantly in your face with the full length of the message for everyone to see. I want notifications to ding and vibrate, but only show an icon on the status bar. Not show my messages to the whole world, nor me when i don't want to see them. The only option in notifications with the Samsung version of 7.0 is everything off, or messages in your face with vibrate and ding. Horrible decision by Samsung.
System UI Tuner has the ability to set notification levels including disabling message previews however Samsung pulled it out in 7.0. The solution is this command and you don't have to be rooted:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

Works perfectly!
I, I get it: I didn't have all the extra options in system UI tuner in my previous device running Marshmallow (only the "tiles" stuff", this wasn't a Samsung device) thus my mistake on the exact scope of your question.
Dear madfusker,
Did you find a solution to the problem? I just updated my S7 Edge to Nougat 7,0 and now I experience the exact same problem as you. Very annoying.

I don't know how to enable the System UI Tuner, but you can disable "peeking". In Application Info inside Settings > Apps, just below Permissions you will find what you are looking for in 'Apps that can appear on top' under 'Advanced'. It's there for most apps.

I have night mode on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet running 7.0
You might want to consider a third party app. I know it's not the elegant way but there is an app that offers you a full System UI Tuner.
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.zacharee1.systemuituner
Read carefully etc - you still use a Samsung phone But I use this app on my Galaxy A5 running Stock Nougat TouchWiz and most stuff works.
Hope I could help achieving some good results.
Edit: Use this link from your phone with the xda labs app installed. I don't know whether the link works otherwise!

I've got Galaxy S8 Sm-G950U Nougat 7.0 on Boost Mobile and can't get the SystemUI Tuner to enable by holding down setting gear in notification blind. Did Samsung remove the feature?
My wife has Moto E4 Nougat 7.1.1 on Boost and I enabled it just fine on her phone. I don't see the Night Mode option in her SystemUI Tuner though.
Edit: nvm. They apparently did. For anyone else who wants the features of the SystemUI Tuner and can't enable it,

Hey guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to modify the existing AOD for more options.
For example: I couldn't care less about the clock, I'm wearing and using a watch anyway.
It would be nice if one could lay his smartphone onto the table with it beeing completly black except when you have notifications.
Something like in the picture I've quickly put together.
http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4959/6ckdllab_png.htm
Are there any roms which support this? Is it even possible to modify the Samsung AOD in that way or would one have to write a new app?
For now im using a black screen with the LED but that's suboptimal.
Thank you very much,
Chilz0r

There are some themes available from Samsung Store but anything like you posted is currently not seen. Moreover, you should post questions in question/answer section. This section is not for question or discussion purpose.

Yeah I just took any picture on the internet and photoshopped it to show what I'm looking for.
This ambient display feature would be perfect if it would use the advantages of the S8 Display,
meaning lighting up particular pixels the whole time and not areas of the screen for a small time.

This answers my question, thank you.
But I'm curious now: would it be reasonable trying to programm such an app oneself,
or alternatively is it possible to get the Samsung AOD code to modify it?

This isn't bad if you try to build such app but AFAIK and untill now, it is nearly impossible to build such app. You probably won't get exact source code for AOD because most things are hard-coded. Even, if you manage to get code, modify it and build your desired app it will be hard or impossible to install it over pre-installed AOD app. Kind of complicated, but you can still try, maybe you end up being Samsung hero.
Can someone please help me enable the 30 wallpapers on the lock screen please?
I had it enabled on Nougat, updated to Oreo and I knew there is no more possibility to add more than one image, but for some reason it still displayed those images like in nougat. Untill I resetted all the setting because the new edge lighting works for messages( really annoyed cause it doesnt work for whatsapp or facebook messeger, wait, any app besides default message app and i tought the setting got corupted)
I saw a post in witch if you use Nova, witch I am, can create an activity with "my interests" app and set the multiple images on the lockscreen. I dont quite know how to do it and I need someone to help me.
Can the classic night clock be added br 3rd party becaus im sure samsung just dropped the support on the phone after oreo..
I miss these 2 features, makes me want to go back to nougat or root and loose OTA.......witch isnt a big deal cause I dont think there will be any more major updates.
To use edge light on every app you must enable pop up notification in app and then edge light works, also with screen off

Thanks! I did that, but it still wont work, although I wont use it with screen off because of privacy issues.
I really like the video on lock screen, can convert gifs and make cool lock screen, but I still miss the old feature. :crying:
The AOD of oneplus is very ridiculous and i dont know why they didnt include the same one of Color OS Here , its almost non customizable and very boring looking , and the dialer is good but the vibration when i answer and end calls is very weak which annoys me so much , so any ideas?
As i said in your other post. I think you have the wrong software firmware.
You should check your software version. It has to be at least C.16.

Mine is C20 and this is how AOD settings look , i cant put a pic from gallery as AOD pic (canvas isnt what i want) like i used to do on find x2 pro , and the notification icons appear white color on AOD instead of colorful icons on Find X2 pro , thats why i want Color os 12 AOD instead of OOS's AOD
